What Are X-Plain Tutorials?
X-Plain tutorials explain health conditions and procedures using a variety of research-based adult learning techniques. The tutorials display simplified text with full narration, alongside related illustrations and animations. The programs are self-paced, and they ask questions to verify understanding. When the patient answers incorrectly, an explanation is provided.
Patients can watch X-Plain on a tablet or bedside TV. They can also access X-Plain on their smartphones through the client’s patient portal, website, or the X-Plain telemedicine app.

Why Do Patients Like X-Plain?
More than 9 out of 10 patients appreciate X-Plain and wish all their doctors offered it because:
- X-Plain programs rely on text, narration, illustrations, and animations to convey vital health information. This multiple-input approach improves the user's attention, comprehension, and retention.
- The user controls the pace of learning. Patients can proceed at their own pace and return to previous slides as needed. If they become distracted, the presentation stops until they touch the screen.
- X-Plain makes the teach-back process less intimidating and prepares the patient to communicate effectively with their healthcare providers.
Why Do Healthcare Providers Prefer X-Plain?
Healthcare providers choose X-Plain because:
- We offer thousands of multimedia programs. These programs span 40 medical specialties across the continuum of care.
- X-Plain solutions can be integrated into existing systems, such as an EMR, patient portal, or bedside patient station. We offer a free trial period and instruments so prospective clients can evaluate patient and staff feedback.
- Patients develop self-confidence as they learn the ins and outs of their condition and treatment options. Confident patients are more likely to engage with their providers and ask questions.
Why Do Healthcare Executives Support X-Plain?
Healthcare executives support X-Plain because:
- The Patient Education Institute (PEI) has been designing computer-based patient engagement solutions for over 25 years and shares best practice solutions through its quarterly newsletter.
- X-Plain can help standardize communication across a health system. We provide identical content in different formats, such as videos, illustrated handouts, and interactive tutorials. We can deliver education through the EMR, a public-facing website or a bedside TV system.
- PEI archives each version of an X-Plain tutorial for 20 years. Should a medico-legal need arise, PEI can support the claim of adequate informed consent by demonstrating what a given patient reviewed and answered.
